Meet Bea, the newest member of our sanctuary family. 💛 This brave little goat was either auctioned or escaped from slaughter, only to be found in a veld in the suburbs with a severe eye infection. Thanks to her incredible rescuers and two weeks of care at the vet, Bea has made an amazing recovery!

Though she’s still a little weary of humans, Bea is already starting to settle in and explore her new home. We’re hopeful she’ll bond with her bunk mate, Mariah, as they get to know each other better.

We invite you to come visit Bea and show her some love! 🐐💕 Let's give her the warmest welcome she deserves. 🌸

The first blush of peach tree blossoms has arrived, painting our sanctuary in soft hues of pink and white 🌸 It’s a gentle reminder that new beginnings are all around us—whether it’s the fresh blooms on our trees or the joyful spirits of the animals who call this place home.

Spring is our favourite time of year, not just for the beauty it brings, but for the hope it symbolises. Each blossom is a promise of growth, resilience, and the incredible things that can happen when we nurture life with love.

As you step into this new season, may the blossoming peach trees inspire you to plant seeds of kindness, compassion, and positivity wherever you go. Just like our rescued animals who have found their forever home here, we hope you too find your own sanctuary—a place where you can grow, bloom, and truly be yourself.

Here’s to a spring full of fresh starts and endless possibilities! 🌸

We wanted to share a little love for our sweet pig, Willow, who’s been going through a tough time with her hooves lately.

Thanks to some careful treatments, daily cleanings, and a round of antibiotics, Willow is starting to feel better. We also have our wonderful farrier come out regularly to give her some extra-special care. It’s a slow process, but every day, we see a bit more of her spark returning.

We’ll continue to monitor her closely and give her all the TLC she deserves. Your positive thoughts and well-wishes mean the world to Willow (and to us!) 💗

Our local farmers are facing tough times, leading to a grass shortage and skyrocketing prices. This month, we spent R17,000 on just 15 bales of grass to ensure our animals are well-fed.

As a non-profit, we rely on your support to get through these challenging times. Every cent counts and goes directly towards feeding and caring for our rescued friends.

Please consider donating today to help us continue our mission. Your generosity makes a huge difference! 💚

Thank you to all the wonderful women who make our world a better place.

We had a bit of a scare this week with our beloved Marcus. He developed colic, a condition that can be fatal in horses. Thanks to our diligent team and consistent monitoring, we caught it early and alerted the vet immediately.

We're thrilled to report that Marcus is doing much better now! 🙌 His recovery is a testament to the importance of preventative measures and vigilant care.

Thank you for all your well-wishes and support. Marcus sends his love! 💖

🐐 We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of our sanctuary family, Miss Mariah! This adorable and sassy little goat has quite the story.

A year ago, she was found on the side of the road and brought to safety. She soon bonded with another rescued goat and they became inseparable friends. Tragically, her friend Barry was attacked and killed, leaving Mariah traumatised as she helplessly witnessed the event.

Though her rescuers loved her dearly, they knew she needed a safer place.

Mariah is already making herself at home and showing off her spirited personality. We have no doubt she will soon be running the show here! 😆

Welcome, Mariah – your new beginning starts now! ❤️

We've recently installed surveillance cameras in our barn, checking on the animals every two hours throughout the evening just in case of an emergency.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Trojan's passing 💔

He died peacefully in his sleep last night. While we are deeply saddened that we didn't get to spend more time with him, we are incredibly grateful for the precious moments we did have to get to know and love him.

Despite the neglect he endured before coming to us, Trojan remained the sweetest and most gentle soul. His resilience and capacity for love were truly inspiring. We are thankful that we could provide him with the care, attention, and affection he deserved in his final weeks.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who followed Trojan's story and supported his journey of healing. Your love and support meant the world to him and to us. Together, we made his last days filled with warmth and kindness.

We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to for their incredible work in rescuing Trojan and giving him a second chance. Their dedication and effort in his recovery were instrumental in making his last days filled with love and comfort.

Rest in peace, dear Trojan. You will always be remembered and cherished. ❤

Yesterday we celebrated this handsome boy's 17th birthday 🎉 Topaz enjoyed plenty of cuddles and treats on his special day 💓 If you've met Topaz on one of our tours, you know he was rescued from being slaughtered at just 18 months old. We've had the privilege of watching him grow and heal over the last 16 years. He's an absolute sweetheart, and loves spending time with his sponsor, who faithfully comes to groom and spoil him (yesterday included) 🥰 We love you, special boy. Here's to you!

You'll have to forgive the quality, but this was just too precious not to share... King getting the royal treatment on his 20th birthday, and every other day 🎉 But today is special for two reasons, it's also sanctuary Director, Stephen's birthday 🎈 Hooray! Wishing you both a birthday as special and magnificent as you are! ❤️

Just Kali exploring and living her best life 🫶 Remember to book your free spot on our tour this weekend, before they're all gone 😅 Bookings are open and available via our website! See you soon! 🥳

Update: Lussino is still in recovery and confined to his stable, but his vet tells us that he may be able to experience grass and sunshine again in four weeks time. 🙏 Overall, he's coping with the situation better than we are. 🥺 The good news is that we've found some creative ways to keep him stimulated. His favourite pastime is searching for treasure in his treat ball. ❤️ Stay tuned for more updates!
